A state in the USA not known for its Soul output, ultra-hip funk from Oklahoma's Messengers
Incorporated, a group who come across with a sound that's every bit as
righteous and heavy as you might guess from the cover! Instrumentation
is heavy on bass, guitar, and organ and topped with some great
saxophone work too, all in a sound that's draws plenty of inspiration
from righteous jazz of the early 70s, but which focuses the sound into a
more funk-based approach overall. Vocalists shift throughout and
include singers Barbara and Charles Burton, later of Burton Inc(COMING TOMORROW) who
help give the record as much of a soul-based punch alongside the jazzy
instrumentation of the combo! The whole thing's a real heavy hitter,
the kind of album that could have soared large, had it gotten wider
release back in the day. Two tracks were played out in the UK Northern & Jazz/Funk Scene. Class album for sure!
